Today was "Eat Your Veggies Day;" a day we attempt to celebrate every day in the Lau house. I use the word attempt however, because we have a toddler; and the big question each day when living with a toddler is "will they?" or "won't they" when it comes to the food you present them with.
Today, she surprised us. She willinging ate (translation: without coaxing) two slices of cucumber. Now I know that, technically, a cucumber isn't a veggie - it's a fruit. But honestly, when was the last time you saw a cucumber sliced up in a fruit salad? And while I'm on the subject, the same goes for tomatos!
The battle or "is it a fruit, or is it a vegetable?" aside, the point is she ate something healthy. All by herself. Without pleading. Without crying. And after she ate her cucumber, she downed a bowl full of grapes. It was a good day.
Eat your veggies. And celebrate life today.
Tomorrow: Go Fishing Day; International Picnic Day; National Splurge Day; National Cherry Tart Day.
